Young Joe Morris Extinguishes Baptist Fire during Salute
On the 4th a wadding piece from a firing gun lit the Baptist church roof. A 12 year old boy named Joe Morris climbed the roof and tried to beat the flames with his feet. He then unbuttoned his pants and used his stream to extinguish the fire, earning loud cheers from the crowd. A Pawtuxet fire engine builder praised the boy's quick thinking over his own machines.
